    They are almost exclusively Mooneys. Some sort of planned mass arrival???

    Optimising chance of upgrade

    If indeed Qantas took into account Perceived Customer Value when determining the order of upgrades, do you think that if two customers spent generally the same amount of money on flights but one flew only Y and the other only J and F, the PCVs would be the same or different?

    QF 93 Mel/Lax A380

    You would think, but you would be surprised how often they go US often requiring owners/pax to go commercial at short notice and often mid trip.

    HBA call centre - amazing service for platinum request

    I’ve had a few dealings lately with the Premium Call centre and I must say a few times I have been diverted to the Fiji call centre who were also very helpful and quite knowledgeable.

    Checking in golf clubs

    Definitely don’t need a golf pro to fit the shaft. It’s only a bolt that requires a pretensioned wrench tool that came with the new driver when you bought it.

    Checking in golf clubs

    My wife and I have travelled many times with golf clubs and never had a problem. We wrap our golf clothes, socks etc. around them to help protect them.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Thanks for that, On that basis I may as well enter NZ. I was just looking for somewhere slightly more comfortable to wait while waiting for the Qantas lounge to open. I don’t see value in staying at the Novotel for only a few hours.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I’m arriving AKL at 0030 and departing 0610 the same day HLO only. Does anybody know if I can use the transit lounge to wait before the Qantas Lounge opens?

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    New to this. Can someone confirm that when booking, only the original Status Credits are shown in the booking? Just booked BNE - MEL - AKL - MEL - BNE. The booking shows 290 SCs. Business.

    Still fairly warm, though I guess it's difficult to get cool with short turnarounds. Our target was 100º. The risk if the initial temperature is too high, is that you'll get what's called "instant light-off", and will get rapidly increasing temperature and pressure in the core. That can lead...

    Is it possible to select the different laws or does the machine give you the most appropriate law given the available information available to it?

    Are there any legal ramifications in having the FO in the seat during the landing phase? Is it covered in the ops manual?

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    I hope not. Although I don’t fly often, when I do I always travel in premium cabins, both domestically and internationally. I choose to fly Qantas when possible due to the QFF program and the availability of reward tickets in premium classes. If Qantas becomes a pseudo Jetstar service, although...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    Disagree strongly. I am disadvantaged, I proactively strove to get Platinum this year For the first time. I had the 600 to retain gold, so I would get a Gold anyway for next year. I earned another 300 and had bookings in May to earn the additional 300. ( I have refunds pending for those) My...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    I would just be happy if they pushed out the anniversary for the same period that they don’t fly ( maybe plus a month) and keep the status credits already earned. For example, if they don’t fly for four months and your anniversary date is 31 May your new date would be 30 September. This still...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    I’m in the same boat. Already qualified for Gold and well on the way to Platinum. In fact the status credits for already booked flights would have guaranteed it. My year ends 31 May. It’s a pity that Qantas didn’t honour Status Credits and Points for flights they cancelled (albeit not their...

    They definitely do. I had the two flights needed, after one lot of status credits arrived from a rewards flight it went to one, then the other rewards flight status credits arrived and it disappeared.

    Qantas Revenue booking cancellations (under covid19)

    Thanks for the info. i don’t have a voucher, I’m trying to establish what’s best when determining what to do with my current bookings in May. Although I will be asking for a full refund on at least one of them, I am happy to let Qantas hang on to my money if the voucher conditions are suitable...
